I got my first test drive this morning on S model, and what did I think, comparing to my 997S gen 2.
I was impressed with the comfort, i took it over a concrete surface road which on my present car creates a loud roar from the tires. I noticed, it was a lot quiter in the 991.
I liked the new sports mode which is now standard, which dropped the PDK to 6th gear, and switched on the sport exhaust.I switched the Sport exhaust off since I wanted to hear what the car sounded with the sound symposer. With this, the engine noise was louder than my present 997. For me, the noise was just right without the sport exhaust being on, therefore I will not spec the sport exhaust system.
I also tried the sport plus mode, which for me unless I do track days is unnecessary, therefore `I will not spec it.
I liked the power steering plus option, which is good for parking.
I liked the auto start stop of the engine, which I was surprised of how quickly the engine started.
Overall, I was very impressed and have confirmed my deposit which I placed 6 weeks ago. Whether is justifies the £40K+ over my present Gen 2 is another question.
Spec
991S
PDK
White with balck interior.
20 inch classic wheels.
parking sensors
sport steering wheel with paddle change
power steering plus.
folding mirrors.
I have been sensible with the spec, and have stuck from experience.
